Tail the courier

The courier is already on the road when Deever calls. Take a fast car and chase the yellow and red 29 Special across Coral City. Keep close enough to see it but do not ram it, since the job fails if he dies before he reaches the factory. He runs red lights, so expect traffic.

Find the factory

The courier crosses Coral City and Miramire and stops outside a building in north Miramire. When he goes inside, you know where the factory is. Deever then tells you to steal a Tanker from the compound in northwest Little Bogota and bring it back.

Steal the Tanker

Drive to northwest Little Bogota. The compound is guarded by three security men, one with a machine gun and two with pistols, so get out and shoot them first. Climb into the Tanker once the area is clear.

Park it at the factory

Drive the Tanker back to Miramire and park it flush against the factory wall. Go slowly and avoid collisions, because the job fails if the Tanker is destroyed before you arrive. The truck is heavy, so brake early at junctions.

Blow it up

Get out and walk away from the Tanker, then shoot it from a safe distance. When the truck blows, the factory goes up with it. Stay at least a screen away to avoid the blast.

What fails this mission

Besides dying or being arrested, the mission ends if any of these happen:

  • the courier is killed before he reaches the crack factory
  • the Tanker is destroyed before it reaches the crack factory

After the mission

You receive 45,000 points and a +1 score multiplier. Head back to the payphones.
